[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Williamsss:
I tried this rom a few weeks ago but it wasnt usable as a phone (no data or calls) Has that issued been fixed (The op doesnt seem to have been updated so I thought I would ask)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
really???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wastedlife:
Did you not read the post just above yours?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dinomight:
anyone have a link to toro_ubuntu.zip ... looks like the link is dead.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klubhead:
I'm guessing (hoping) Google services will be supported? Contacts, apps, etc.?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
I don't think it will.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Doubt it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chukis13:
I don't see why you wouldn't be able to sync contacts and email.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Williamsss:
I didnt look at the link till you pointed it out Thank you Wastedlife.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Email will most likely be supported, Contacts will probably be supported, if not by syncing then maybe a Vcard. Google Apps...highly unlikely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geomonroe:
Can someone tell me the status of this ROM for toro?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zittoro:
(Maguro's status) - (carrier signal)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hadobac:
This guy at this link worked out how to sync Google contacts with Ubuntu Touch: http://sergiusens.github.io/posts/google-contacts-on-ubuntu-touch.html

For now Ubuntu Touch works pretty smooth, even the internet, via Wifi ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geomonroe:
Should I use the install link here?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xzero425x:
I've been wanting to try this, but is like everything working? Or still really beta

Looks like they are doing a bit of fine tuning to the OS.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tydy:
do you think those kinds of options will be included or is it all just animations and editing. that seems like some epic fine tuning, I don't think it'll be ready this month either :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Well its the end of May and havent heard anything about the "stable" version. I dont even know where to look for this stuff though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] withbloodskies:
Ubuntu website or Maguro forums on Ubuntu Preview. Like many have said we probably won't have a stable version until the end of the year.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cctoro:
3G?

Has anyone gotten the 3g to work on the gnex toro? I've been trying but keep getting and "unknown connection" error when using the "nmcli con up id". Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xavier86:
Its been confirmed by the link posted by cctoro that the only the gsm version has 3g working. But there is a bit of information of people trying to get it working. When I get a Galaxy S4 in February, this gnex will be used just for this a mobile Ubuntu :):)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blarsen1620:
Same thing, think I've tried just about every combination on settings to try and get it working but same error.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryclegman:
Yeah they haven't figured out toro data yet. only the GSM version has it (not verizons edition)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nismology:
Seems like the toro_ubuntu d/l link is broken. Patiently awaiting its rebirth. :)

URLs for Flashing Toro (Unofficially) with Ubuntu Touch Preview

Here are some helpful Links for those of us with Toro (vice Maguro) GNEX :highfive: :

How to test the data connection

Here are the "Daily PreInstalled" Downloads.

Here is how to edit the updater script.

Original "Ported" versions (w/modified script), for comparison [download and verify how same file was changed in OG preview for Toro][1st post of this same thread]

The OTHER Ubuntu Touch forum inside the GNEX forums (not toro/maguro specific), that was not shut down yet. [FYI/Warning: all others are/will be shut down, after backlash to the OP]

The CORRECT location for Ubuntu Touch threads [and more specifically, Touch Preview]

Hope this helps someone else who loves Ubuntu and Linux-based Phones.

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cctoro:
Did you get the data working? I thought CDMA wasnt working yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PRichardson:
.. haven't had time to experiment/test yet. Maybe in a week or two from now, and especially if someone else with more time on their hands at the moment does. Also, will need to retrieve my toro from my teenager (buy him a new phone) first :)

WARNING: Again, this is a developer preview, not recommended for those who are brand new to modding/maker Android community.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kicker22004:
Well I'm bored and figure WTH wanna wipe out my phone anyways...I'll test it tonight. I'll report back

OK so spent some time with it..the new version is nice. Sadly as we guessed no data. followed the guide to end with

Unknown connection (your network)

in this part (your network) was Verizon

had fun but back to Android
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geomonroe:
What's the verdict?

Can't download files anybody have copy want to take this for a spin

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterSprinkles:
Verdict of what? He just pretty much summed it all up :p Lol.

It's easier to download the latest from Ubuntu and just change the updater-script.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 5imp7y:
How does one change said updater script?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterSprinkles:
Edit with notepad and remove the assert line.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrdunn:
Just came back from OSCON where Ubuntu phone had a booth with several engineers. They said they had no plans on supporting CDMA and without the CDMA radio, verizon phones will never be able to make a call or receive a call. Anyone develop the radios or trying to?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbdysreal:
Thats not exactly true. Verizon is planning a move to VOIP-LTE starting late 2014. If Ubuntu supports LTE, there is hope for the (far) future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrdunn:
Good news, surprised that the Ubuntu phone people didn't tell me that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geomonroe:
If only Arch would do phones, eh ;)

John 3:16
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krus_2:
The Ubuntu Edge phones may never support CDMA but I can't imagine Ubuntu turning down a carrier because they don't like the radio technology.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dragonhart6505:
So if I flash this to my VZW GNex, currently on PagePlus, I should be able to throw my GoSmart dealer Sim card in and have working calls and texts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] russphil:
No. There is currently no way to get working calls/texts on phones with CDMA radios, which includes all Verizon/Sprint phones and the carriers that use their networks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dragonhart6505:
So why does the OP mention GSM radioinstalled on VZW GNex with working calls and text just no 3g? Unless im reading it wrong...

Yes i am aware that the VZW GNex has only a CDMA and LTE radio and flashing the wrong one can screw you up. But as i just said, read the OP. What does this mean then? The GSM Maguro radio installs or not? If not it should be updated with correct information.

Also there are VZW phones that work on GSM networks. SGS3, SGS4, Moto Razr (Razr only works outside of US) and more are being released. I unlock them almost everyday for customers. Sprint phones I know don't because there is no Sim slot. But if there is a chance to do it for the GNex I'll be first in line to jump ship from PPC >_<

Edit: OK so I reread the last paragraph. It doesn't have CDMA or LTE radios, but it doesn't say the GSM DOESNT work, just that WiFi does. Need more clarification.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
That's for GSM phones, the calls and texts. There is, however, a method to getting 3G (or was it 4G, I forget) working on the Verizon and Sprint Galaxy Nexuses, I'd say Google it, because I forget where that information is...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
Nope incorrect my friend. There is only a method to get 3g working for only the gsm phones. That method won't work with these phone that have a CDMA radio.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
Cool but still does nothing for us
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
A better response might be "Yep, that's the one, sadly only for GSM..."

Because I'm still left wondering if that's even been tried on a CDMA GalNex, I went a few pages back and no one bothered to try it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Terrell1433:
Click the link and read the comments. Says GSM only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djquick:
OK, not to sound like a ****; but if no phone calls, 3G or 4G Data work with this ROM installed on a Verizon Galaxy Nexus; then what's the point of installing it??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] russphil:
It's for developers. It helps them develop for the platform, not to use in day to day life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geomonroe:
Serious, if you are not willing to research more, than you probably should not flash anything, and your language is offensive and unacceptable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djquick:
Seriously little boy?? I've been apart of this forum for 5 years, flashed thousands of ROMs, Mod's, Kernels, helped others with guidance, problems, suggestions, etc...you've been on here less than a year; contributed absolutely nothing beneficial to help others, and have the nerve to comment on my post with that ridiculous statement? And what language did I use that was so offensive?? Did I drop the "F" bomb somewhere and just don't see it??

Maybe you should just go back to the kiddie forums on clubpenguin and leave the grown-up forums to us.

This conversation is over.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geomonroe:
That's great but from your post you sounded new
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Terrell1433:
I installed it just to see Ubuntu OS. I created a backup of my ROM before flashing and just messed with it for awhile and then flashed my working ROM. If you absolutely need to be able to take calls or texts don't flash this ROM, otherwise it's fun to mess with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Masciale:
Anyone have the toro specific file? modded top two lines or original doesn't make a difference, I'm just not gonna be near a computer to edit it myself for a bit

You can use something like Root Explorer to modify the build prop lines. Just unzip, modify, rezip.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericerk:
This might sound dumb...

Is their an updated version of the OS, by that I mean something newer that's listed on the interwebs. I've searched but I couldn't find anything :/.

Any new info would be great.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Terrell1433:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/

There's where you'll find all the new builds
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericerk:
But there's nothing for the "Toro"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
That's because toro isn't supported or any other CDMA phone for that matter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericerk:
So there's no newer port for the toro, and the old ubuntu toro .zip is down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Terrell1433:
Take the newest maguro build change the updater script to say "toro" instead of "maguro" and you'll have the newest. I believe nobody has ported any newer versions because of the ease of changing it yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericerk:
Wouldn't radio's be non functional after that?

Also Updater script wouldn't it mean decompiling the whole os, no?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wastedlife:
Radios have never functioned on toro with Ubuntu OS to my recollection.

For the second point no, just the updater/installer script. Maguro and toro have the same board (tuna) and use the same kernels. The main difference is that toro has a CDMA/LTE radio instead of a GSM radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geomonroe:
I read up on the radios thing, but I am no tech. I understand different carriers use different frequencies. So no matter what if the toro radios are remaining closed source we are out of the touch game.

P.S. correct me if I'm wrong;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Terrell1433:
As of right now there is no port of Ubuntu with working radios for toro. Verizon has joined with Canonical along with other carriers so that could mean future support. As of right now you can boot Ubuntu on the toro and use WiFi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericerk:
Not for the Toro, Verizon would NEVER let that happen.

Also I can't download the files aio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Terrell1433:
Maybe not officially. I'm not real sure about the radios and what it takes but I was kind of thinking if the Verizon network would work on Ubuntu OS then maybe someone could make it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericerk:
Since it's base is android i'm pretty sure some form of hybrid rom are a possibility w/ connection.

What's the proper way to download the preinstalls.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Terrell1433:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/daily-preinstalled/

Go to the daily you want. Download "touch-armel-maguro" and also the "touch-armfh." edit the updater script on the maguro file and flash both zips in recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericerk:
I can't find it :/.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericerk:
Updater script.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EniGmA1987:
Take an updater script from another ROM made for Toro and use it for the build of Ubuntu Touch
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Terrell1433:
Sorry I was at work. Inside the zip of the ubuntu Maguro file will be two choices I believe. Meta-inf and system you want to follow the path META-INF/com/google/android. There is the updater script. Edit the first two lines replacing "maguro" with "toro."

Ya that link is old. The download in that link is still the Quantal downloads the new ones from the link I posted are Saucy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericerk:
And then zip it up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Terrell1433:
I don't think I ever had to unzip it. I believe if you unzip it then rezip it unsigns it. I could be wrong though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericerk:
Now you've seen my problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geomonroe:
Oh, is the install process the same or is this the maguro build
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Terrell1433:
My link is maguro, once you change the updater script install is same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geomonroe:
OK, has anyone been able to make the changes without loosing the signature
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Terrell1433:
Ya I have. I just double click the zip and it opens without actually unzipping it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geomonroe:
Oh, cool so the above name changes are all I need
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Terrell1433:
Now all you need is the file in my link. It's the build from the 24th. I'd be happy to do any recent ones for yall. https://www.dropbox.com/s/c57w0xdsz009l86/saucy-preinstalled-touch-armel+maguro.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericerk:
So this and the 400 meg file?

That would make it work on my Toro?

Edit it works...

Now I just need to get it to add a hidden network, many thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Terrell1433:
Yes the touch-armhf and the file I posted. The one I linked has the modified updater script.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Terrell1433:
Have fun using it. I haven't been on in awhile due to its lack of data connection but it is fun to play with. If you want a newer build let me know and I'll change the updater script for you.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geomonroe:
Cool

where's the 4.4?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lildark7:
another solution

Another solution:

- You have root on your device

- Installed Rom Toolbox Pro

- Give him super user permissions

- There is a tool called "Edit build.prop"

- Countersigns, search and edit the line that says "ro.product.device"

- Down to "Toro" changes and type "maguro"

Congratulations device restarts and now you can install ubuntu touch of "Maguro"

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Not for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus though. Even if it was ported, who knows if the radios would work right, if at all. I'm just waiting for a video of it in action. I've only seen the developer preview in action so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexus7lte:
^pretty bummed the verizon version is not out yet. here is the link for the gsm version https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices

If I only use my vzw gnex on wifi and not cdma/lte, could the maguro ubuntu image work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nitsua98:
The Verizon version is never coming officially.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
^Unfortunately you're right. The CDMA Nexus devices (VZW and Sprint) are the black sheep of the Nexus family, and will never see official support for projects like this.

I see a few people in the Toroplus thread, claiming that ril and build.prop edits could get data to work, but I think that's delusional at best... If it were really that simple, we'd already have a fully functional build, so there's clearly something else that needs to be explored. I may grab the source code, just to look through it, while I wait for 4.4 to drop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
If the Toro ports worked in the past, I don't see why someone couldn't port this again, sans data. Something to think about four the people that know how to port... unless this official version finally got off the android roots and is more straight Linux now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
Having a port of an official firmware, without data is a bit pointless, don't you think? I would rather not have devs working on it at all, versus having a build that doesn't include core functionality. That kind of thing is fine for alpha builds, but am "official" release with no data, on a phone, doesn't really serve a purpose. Not trying to insult you here... I'm just offering my opinion, for the sake of conversation.

And as far as I know, Ubuntu Touch has a CM base, which means (for me at least) that I will never use it as a daily driver. My personal convictions won't allow me to support - what I feel - is a morally bankrupt development team.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
...Ubuntu touch is supported by Ubuntu, which is all about open source and development. By using it you'd be supporting one of the biggest free and open source operating systems out there...
